Caught in the Act — When 'Free Disposal' Is A Hoax

Caught in the Act — When 'Free Disposal' Isn’t Free At All

You saw the ad. "FREE bulky item disposal!" Sounds too good to be true — and that’s because it is.

Behind the smiling Facebook posts and too-good-to-be-true promises, some so-called 'free disposal' services in Singapore are being called out for unprofessional conduct, bait-and-switch tactics, and even harassment.

Customers Are Speaking Out

We’ve heard real stories from people who:

• Received verbal abuse after declining the service

• Were charged a fee just to receive a quote

• Got stalked by persistent follow-ups after saying no

• Got harassed from a second number after blocking the first — with the so-called provider demanding to know why they declined the service

• Thought they were dealing with Junk Value — but weren’t

Let’s be clear: these tactics damage trust across the whole industry.

No, That’s Not Junk Value Messaging You

Some rogue businesses are allegedly impersonating legit companies like Junk Value — riding on our name to appear credible.

But the experience tells you everything:

• Sudden change in tone when you hesitate

• Pressure to pay for Quotes

• Aggressive follow-up if you choose someone else

We don’t play those games.

Why 'Free' Isn’t Really Free

Think about it: how can bulky item disposal be free when there’s cost involved in:

• Transport

• Manpower

• Fuel

• Disposal fees at licensed facilities

The truth is, someone’s paying — and it’s either in cash, time, or your peace of mind.

How to Spot a Legitimate Service

✅ They give you a proper quote based on real photos and info

✅ They clearly explain what's included (e.g. stairs, dismantling, lift access)

✅ They don’t charge you for asking questions

✅ They let you decide — no pressure, no bullying

At Junk Value, we offer:

• Transparent pricing

• Polite communication

• No obligation to confirm

Let’s Keep It Professional

We know you have options. And we welcome comparisons. But professionalism means accepting when someone chooses another service — not harassing or gaslighting them.

We’ll continue doing our part to raise the standard for removal services in Singapore.

How to Protect Yourself

📌 Always verify the company’s name, number, and website. Ours is junk-value.net and our official WhatsApp: wa.me/6591459514

📌 Ask for written terms before confirming

📌 Report abuse to Google Reviews, CASE, or Police if needed

Final Word

Not all junk removal companies are created equal. The next time you see “Free Disposal!”, pause — and read the fine print.

Don’t let your old sofa be the reason you’re verbally abused or tricked into hidden fees.

Choose professionalism. Choose transparency. Choose Junk Value.
